2. MTV’s newest reality show will follow pre-college teens “as they lose weight in preparation for a new chapter in their lives.” Do you think it will be as popular as Jersey Shore? [via Jezebel]
3. Betty White on gay marriage in the new Parade: “I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time — and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones — I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don’t worry about other people so much.” [via Just Jared]
4. It’s not exactly a Nirvana reunion, but Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Butch Vig are working together on the new Foo Fighters record. [via Spinner]

So this is fun: Gia Coppola (Sofia’s niece) has directed a new video promoting Zac Posen’s line for Target. It stars the girls from The Like, who just happen to be friends of hers, and was inspired by old footage of The Beatles hanging out in their hotel room. We loved Gia’s previous short for Opening Ceremony, which featured Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst. Click through and tell us what you think of her latest.

Today at Flavorpill, we were horrified by the castmates of MTV’s Jersey Shore. That poor landlord. We called a stranger in the desert. We learned that legibility and correct punctuation can indeed be street. We wondered what they’ll be serving up at the Rolling Stone restaurant in LA. We drooled over Zac Posen’s pre-fall collection, which he describes as, “Lewis Carroll meets Paloma Picasso.” We were impressed by these brothers’ bike skills. We made a mental note never to assemble a LEGO gun in the office and to always guard our foreheads when we’re in the same room with Anthony Michael Hall. We wanted to make like a Lilliputian and crawl all over Gulliver. We streamed Camera Obscura’s Christmas song. We didn’t understand why the US military is paying people to track balloons. And finally we’ll send you out with Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden. It’s the true story of one man’s psychedelic journey.

But, without a single sketch or sample to gawk at until then, we figured we’d give Zac some suggestions. Some of our favorite looks off the Zac Posen runway we hope to see at your local strip mall after the jump.
